Iron Man 3 was fun. Good action flick. Few things I didn't like. A few plot holes were irritating.
But RDJ is fun to watch as Stark. They did a lot more with him being Stark, not Iron Man which was nice.

Good luck don't for get to stay for the sneak peak at thor 2 at the end..

ok I was all for it until Guy Pearce breathed fire. Favorite line was "dad's leave all the time, no need to be a ***** about it". HATED that The Mandarin wasn't really an enemy. Also wtf worst after credits scene ever. overall a 6/10.

Hated that about Mandarin but couldn't care about the other stuff you mentioned. Breathing fire? Least concerning thing out of people WHO REGENERATE....well some of the time. That was my biggest thing. What determined if they died or grew back? The one chick mentioned overheating but then how did they survive any of Iron Man's blasts, the other explosions or the explosion that almost killed Hap? Randomly chosen. I think it was a little better than a 6. I'd go 7 because it was overall just a filler for Avengers 2 more than anything.

The Extremis wasn't stable. That is why sometimes the body rejected it and people ended up exploding. And that is why Killian wanted to blackmail Tony for his help because he understands how energy works.

So apparently there is a new rumor that in the upcoming Fantastic Four Reborn film Johny Storm might be played by Michael B. Jordan from Friday Night Lights/Chronicle. At the same time I also heard that Allison Williams is more likely the front runner for the role of Sue Storm, and she's white, so...yeah interracial bro and sister I guess.

I get that but it doesn't explain why the stable ones, like Killian and a few others were able to basically control it but died from seemingly lesser forces...

In some ways I think the film tried to hint that Killian has had more experience with Extremis, which is why he is stable with it and his harder to kill, plus has more advanced abilities. Maybe he was the first test subject for Maya Hansan's research. And the difficulty might have been producing it on a more broad scale to other people and making it stable for people other than Killian. It's a hard sell for the audience to automatically assume that, but that isn't the biggest issue with me in the movie.

As for how they died, I don't know. One of them gets unibeamed through the chest. The girl and Killian die in an explosion. Perhaps that is the issue with Extremis. Doesn't always work 100%.

Maybe. Felt like it lacked that explanation. I was just kinda wondering the whole time about it. The Mandarin was easily the worst part. Such a let down given how awesome Ben Kingsley was as the Mandarin.

Fair points about Iron Man 2 not being loved by many as I claimed. I know a few people who think it is a very enjoyable movie. I suppose I got carried away. Does not change the fact that most of you need to watch Shame. Criminally underseen movie.

I remember back when this came to Cannes. Tarantino was the head judge that year and they ended up given the Palme D'Or to Fahrenheit 9/11 though he said he loved Oldboy. I was so excited when my local video store finally got Oldboy in. Blew my ******* mind when I first watched it and I continue to love it. A classic for sure.

The Place Beyond the Pines was great. Admittedly probably a bit long, but I loved Gosling's character, and Cooper did a great job as well. Cooper's son was a bit annoying, but that's simply because of the personality they wanted him to have. It reminded me a lot of East of Eden.

I also watched Oldboy for the first time a few days ago, and immediately regretted having put it off for so long. Not sure what to make of the American remake. The story certainly can be adapted for the "American market", I just question the final quality.

Will be very interested to see Kill Your Darlings when it is released. Loaded with popular young actors (Radcliffe's biggest role since Potter, Elizabeth Olsen, Dane DaHaan who seems to be everywhere this year) and some very interesting Beat content. It also has David Cross and is probably the first remotely interesting thing I've seen Ben Foster attached to in years.

Watched Iron man 3 today. I still liked the movie a lot. But would have to agree its probably the weakest of the 3. Disappointed about the whole Mandarin twist. But I did like that they seem to focus on Tony Stark more then Iron man. I wont knock it to much for being so "unrealistic" like a lot of people are saying. After all, it is a super hero movie, ya know?
